How he rejoiced that he was again permitted to behold the starry sky, and satiate his soul with the beauty of creation! What delight it gave him that the eternal wanderers above were no longer soulless forms, that he again saw in the pure silver disk above friendly Selene, in the rolling salt waves the kingdom of Poseidon!
"I know it, mamma, but so have other people suffered." "She's old, Selene old." "I tell you it's the way you indulge her, mamma. I've seen her sitting here as perk as you please, and the minute you come in the room, down goes her head like like she was dying." "It's her mind, Selene that's going. That's why I feel if I could only get her back. She ain't old, gramaw ain't.
The women of Alexandria, especially, went to the tomb of their beloved Queen as if it were a pilgrimage; but in after-days faithful mourners also came from a distance to visit it, among them the children of the famous lovers whom death here united Cleopatra Selene, now the wife of the learned Numidian Prince Juba, Helios Antony, and Alexander, who had reached manhood.
"Tell me about your God who loves us." "By-and-bye, dear child. Seek Him and you will find Him, for of all His children He loves them best who suffer." "Those who suffer?" asked Selene, in surprise. "What has a God in his Olympian joys to do with those who suffer?"
"No, but it pulled me down, and stood over me, and gnashed its teeth oh! it was horrible." "The cursed, vagabond scoundrel!" growled the steward, "I will teach him how to behave in a strange house!" "Let him be," said Selene, as she saw her father about to don the saffron cloak. "What is done cannot be undone, and if quarrels and dissentions come of it, it will make you ill."
In Hannah's house his hopes had received fresh nurture, and Mary and the widow told him much about their kind and loving God and His Son who loved children and had invited them to come to Him. When Selene began to recover and he was permitted to talk to her he poured out to her all his delight at what he had heard from the women.
"Never mind," said the child confidently, "we shall all meet in Heaven." As she got well Selene asked after each of the children and Hannah described all the families into which they had been received.
"Not thanks, but love a little love is all I ask." "I try to love all men," replied the girl, "and so I love you because you have shown me very much kindness." "Selene, Selene!" he exclaimed in joyful triumph. He threw himself again at her feet and passionately seized her right hand; but hardly had he taken it in his own when Mary, scarlet with agitation, rushed into the room.
But Arsinoe preached to deaf ears. Selene was not there; secure from her reproaches and as anxious as a spoiled boy for the thing that was denied him, Keraunus adhered to his determination to exchange the faithful old fellow for a new and more showy slave.
"I know full well that you have very heavy duties to perform for your age." "Things go as they may." "Nay, nay. I know you do not let things go haphazard. You take care of your brothers and sisters like a mother." "Like a mother!" repeated Selene, and she smiled a bitter negative.
